Vintage 70s Jaquet Cobur by Alfex Watch Company Manual Dress Watch - Ronda 1233-21 Manual Movement

Vintage Swiss manual watch under the brand Jaquet Cobur featuring a highly unusual and beautiful dial. A very special looking watch with the unique dial and generous size (35mm without the crown and 44mm from lug to lug). Alfex watch company itself have been quite successful according to Watch Wiki and its main focus are the low to the medium end of the watch market in from 60s onwards. This must be a small production for the watch brand Jaquet Cobur using a higher quality Ronder 1233-21 movement instead of the lower grade pin lever escapement. I just adore the brown textured quadrant divided dial and its typical 70s baton style markers and hands. A very smart looking watch in my opinion.
